  Looking for the Easter bunny? Here’s one that’s easy to spot。

  还在找复活节兔子吗?不用费神啦,这只就行!

  Darius weighs three-and-a-half stone and measures 4ft 4in, making him the world’s biggest rabbit, according to Guinness World Records。

  据吉尼斯世界纪录,这只名叫大流士的兔子重3.5英石(约22公斤),长4英尺4英寸(约1.32米)。

  His owner, Annette Edwards, 62, from Worcester, is considering putting him on a diet after revealing that he eats 12 carrots a day – more than 4,000 a year。

  这只兔子的主人安妮特·爱德华兹今年62岁了,生活在伍斯特市。大流士每天要吃12根胡萝卜,一年要吃掉4000多根,主人正考虑帮助兔子节食呢。

  He also gets through piles of cabbage, apples and two large bowls of rabbit mix - at an annual cost of £2,400.

  除了胡萝卜,主人还会喂他白菜叶、苹果加上两大碗兔粮,每年花费2400英镑(约2.5万元人民币)。

  Ms Edwards is well used to looking after bunnies with big appetites as Darius’s mother Alice held the record title before him。

  爱德华兹夫人已经习惯了喂养大食量的巨兔,因为大流士的妈妈爱丽丝是曾经的最大兔子纪录保持者。

  And Ms Edwards couldn’t believe the speed Darius grew at when he was born – and she never thought after just five years he would hold the crown for biggest rabbit in the world。

  大流士出生的时候,爱德华兹夫人简直不能相信这只兔子竟然长得那么快!她也从没想到过,仅仅五年之后大流士就摘得了世界最大兔子的桂冠。

  'Darius is from a family of giant rabbits but he is the biggest bunny in history. It’s amazing just how big he is。

  “大流士来自巨兔家族,但是它是有史以来最大的一只。你看它那么大,简直难以置信!”

  ‘If Darius had his way he would never stop eating,’ she said. ‘He is very greedy. I have to really watch him。

  “如果由着大流士吃,它永远也不会停住嘴的。”

  Continental giant rabbits usually live to four or five years, but can last up to seven if well cared for。

  大陆巨兔通常能活到4、5岁左右,但是如果喂养得好,活到7岁也是有可能的。

  They are considered docile, friendly and intelligent, and are relaxed around humans if socialised when young. They were originally bred for their meat and fur。

  这些兔子温顺、友好、聪明,如果从小就经常和人类接触就会和人相处得轻松自在。起初人类养殖这种兔子是为了获得它的肉和皮毛。
